If you should miss it for time reasons the rented car on to refuel, you must count on an extra charge with the car rental. Ideally, you have already documented the condition of the vehicle via smartphone when receiving the rental car.

So if there are any discrepancies, you can refer back to your recordings in case of doubt. After the return process is completed, you will be refunded the kept deposit.
